The primary target of the next 10 years is to sustainably develop ASEAN as a whole region into a competitive and attractive tourism destination on the world stage.
Integrated communications, diversification of products, better standards and increased investment and infrastructure are some directions outlined by the plan. Moreover, the authorities wish to collaborate on protecting the environment and heritage sites in the region.
The tourism chiefs also announced this year’s tourism awards for notable businesses. Many Vietnamese also received awards in the homestay and green hotel categories.
